Is this person a CF or AIBU?

[NewJobNervousNelly]

I have a tree in my front garden that we have put a small swing in for DD6. My garden doesn't have a fence around it but it's quite clearly a private garden. Last week I WFH all week and my dog was going crazy Monday so I went downstairs and there was a woman pushing a child of about 3 on the swing - there's only 10 houses on our close and she definitely wasn't a neighbour but I thought she may have been visiting a neighbor so just left it. This then happened again on Tuesday and Wednesday but both times I was on a call so I couldnt go out but she saw me at the window on Tuesday and just smiled and carried on. I mentioned it to a neighbor and he said she comes in most days, walks in, plays on the swing and then walks back out of the close.

Is this woman a CF or AIBU asking her to sod off? It's not really doing any harm, other than setting my dog off barking but I just find it bizarre behaviour.

I cannot be the only person hoping the CF would start cooking bacon sandwiches in OP's kitchen!

No apologies needed @Eightiesgirl , I thought it was outrageous at the time, that's why I remembered it

She is a CF, but I would be happy her kid is having a nice time, so I wouldn’t worry, myself.

You sound nice!

I suspect she’s not from this country. I’ve found that certain people will take advantage of everything around them as they may not have these opportunities where they’re from.*

Jeeze this is the type of comment that makes me realise why we have such cunts In government. 🙄*

I'm amazed that people think it's acceptable for this random to come to OP's garden everyday, let her dog off to shit in a residential area just because they all have the Disney birds about a cute child using a tree swing. I don't think for a minute that in RL you would tolerate this in your own garden.
@NewJobNervousNelly I think you have been calm and reasonable, your neighbour needs to chin her himself about the dog poo.
Looking forward to the Ring update, she will be back 😆

If the child were to have an accident whilst trespassing on the OP's garden using the swing, the mum could well march up to the OP's front door to complain, or even demand compensation. A cheeky fucker who thinks it is OK to use someone else's garden, rather than going to the public playground, is exactly the sort of person who would do Daily Mail sad-face whilst complaining that the OP's dangerous swing had hurt her child.

Exactly this. People who tie ropes to public trees for all manner of randoms to swing on would go off alarming if they were ever blamed for an accident. I personally don’t agree with ruining trees for kids to swing from. Local play grounds are for kids, not trees

So if my child leaves their bike on my front garden it's free property for any passing stranger to use is it? Anything that's 'in view' is for public use? What a strange way to think 🤔 This isn't about upsetting a child (if she was on her own it would be understandable that she wouldn't know any better) but she is with an adult who DOES know what trespassing is (even if they are Ukrainian 🤦‍♀️🤣) and she is taking a walk up that street ONLY to play in someone else's garden! It's simply not a normal thing to do.

Follow her home and start playing in her garden!

I honestly would have wanted to mention the dog thing too (good neighbours being allies, and all).
However glad you got rid of her that day!

@NewJobNervousNelly did she ever come back or was that the end of it?

She might have gone back to Ukraine.....

She hasn't been back!! Im very surprised if I'm honest but neither my doorbell, nor my neighbours have seen her so it's a win!
